Having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks

I am having trouble installing iMovie HD on a new Mac with Mavericks.
I know that iMovie HD works with Mavericks because we are using it on other Macs successfully. However, those machines were upgraded starting with OS 10.6. In other words, iMovie HD was installed on these Macs when the Macs had Snow Leopard.
When I use the iLife 06 disc, I am presented with “You can't open the application “iLife 06” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I understand that iMovie HD is universal, not PowerPC. How can I get past this to install iMovie HD.
Thanks

OK, I made some progress.
I used Pacifist (Shareware) to open the iMovie HD 6 install packages from the iLife '06 installer DVD (iMovie.pkg and iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg) and let Pacifist install them to the right places.
But doesn't iMovie HD 6 require QuickTime 7 to work ?

Having Trouble Installing iMovie 6 with iMovie 08

A few weeks ago, I had to take my computer into the Apple Store with some issues. They did archive & install but none of my applications were saved, so the only thing left on my HD was pre-installed applications. iLife '08 was there (and I've used all the programs multiple times) but I needed to reinstall iMovie 6. When I opened the pkg file, it tells me "Please install iLife '08 before installing iMovie HD 6."
Does anyone have any ideas why this could be happening?

Welcome to discussions!
Another user had the same problem. he wrote:
+"This last suggestion of trashing the iLife'08 applications and receipts and then performing a reinstall worked. I was able to download iMovie HD 6. Not sure why the preinstalled iLife'08 was not being recognized but the reinstall did work.+
+For those following the thread from the beginning, doing an Archive & Install did fix my new User issue. Now when creating a new User, they have the same hard drive space as everyone else. I did try and download iMovie HD 6 after this step but before the trashing of the preinstalled iLife'08 (as described in the paragraph above) and that did not work.+
+Thank you to everyone that contributed; very much appreciated."+

I am having trouble installing Adobe flash to my i mac--any suggestions?

I am having trouble downloading and installing Adobe flash player to my i mac,--any suggestions?

Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.

Trouble Installing Software Bundle on my new Mac

Hi, I've had my tablet and software bundle for a couple years now. I've installed the software bundle and wacom tablet on pcs in the past with no trouble. I tried to install Photoshop Elements 8 on my new Mac, which in the instruction manual it says it is compatible with. But every time I click on installation, a PSE icon pops up in the menu bar, bouncing up and down, and it asks for my permission(I have to enter my password, I understand how this part works, and it's all well and good). The trouble starts after I enter my password to allow the process to continue. A second PSE icon pops up in the menu bar along the bottom of my screen, and the installation process starts, but the first remains and keeps jumping up and down. I've clicked on it again and again, and nothing shows up, and it won't go away. Meanwhile, the intallation progress is stuck on main_pageSubtitle, which it progresses along until the very end, where it stops, and won't go any further. However, if I right click on either icon and click either Quit or Force Quit, the process stops and closes altogether.
I've tried a number of things and nothing works. I've opened the software bundle folder and gone directly to the photoshop element 8 folder and clicked on the install icon there. I've clicked on Install Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 in the window that the program opens automatically. I even installed Nik Colour Efex Pro, which says it won't even work without Photoshop Elements 8 installed. THAT installation went off without a hitch. I've tried restarting my computer and doing it over again.
I'm running out of options and getting very frustrated. If anyone has any suggestions please help me out.

Have you been manually removing any bits of the failed installs that did get installed between attempts? You need to do that. I would run this, then do a search in applications, hard drive>library>appllcation support>adobe and also your username>library for anything that's there and remove it. Are you running lion or mountain lion?

How do i install iMovie 6 onto my new imac with iLife 8?

I have a new imac with iLife 8 installed with Leopard.
I can't get used to the new iMovie 8 and want to instal iMovie 6 (which i am used to and find great).
Can anyone recommend how i can do this?
I don't want to change the other iLife apps, only iMovie 6.
Also the new imac is not at home and not connected to the internet, is there anyway i can do this without being online? can i download a DMG on a different mac and instal on the new one?
Thanks very much
Dave

no.
follow advice given here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2281
basicly: think twice before setting any checkboxes and hitting any 'install' button
I would try the installer disks of your G5.. probably contains iMHD6 ..

One big question about glitches in my software if I install Lion or buy a new mac with Lion

I have 2009 Leopard I Mac. My bank now insists I have an Intel supported browser and more. Apple said Firefox will do it, but I need to upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Lion or buy a new I Mac with Mt. Lion installed. I read complaints about MP Navigator, Quicken and other software not working on SL or Lion..with my Canon printer..I am over 70 and legally blind, do all our accounting, taxes and correspondence with my I Mac including making DVD's, Cd's...and not able to figure out problems easily. Any suggestions on what I can do? I have to be able to access on=line banking, and also print check copies, etc. for our taxes.

New Macs with Mavericks won't open Photoshop CS3

I upgraded my desktop and laptop and am having trouble with my licensed version of CS3. I spent over an hour with the Adobe Chat line to try to resolve the issues. My desktop computer (iMac) says: "Licensing for this product has stopped working." It quits the program after that message, so I cannot deactivate CS3 on that computer. My laptop says that I need to deactivate the software on the other computer in order to activate it on the laptop. After an hour on Adobe Chat, it abruptly ended unresolved with:
Bopanna N B: Thank you.
Please wait while I transfer the chat to the appropriate group.
You are not currently connected to a chat representative.
The End.
Can my licensed version be deactivated from all current computers so I can reactivate on my new computer? I'm in the middle of a project with a deadline and need this program. My Adobe account shows that I purchased it, so it's legitimate. I just can't access it now.

On this page you should be able use the Chat Now button at the bottom of the page and then adobe can reset your activations

Also, this might fix the error your seeing in case you want to use cs3 on your desktop, because you are allowed to have cs3 installed on two of your own computers.

Data transfer: ext hard drive to new Mac with Mavericks using Time Machine

Data from old computer is on ext hard drive. I delayed transfer to new Mac. Now using Migration Assistant bit I don't know if it is working or just hung up. It shows 'looking for other sources' for over an hour. Please advise.

In general, most people will recommend Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! You can find either one easily enough with a web search.
However, in your case, I imagine you are going to have a hard disk returned to you all by itself, and you will need to install it in an enclosure. Don't let that bother you as this is easy to do and the enclosures are not expensive ($40 or so).
Once that is done, I would recommend you set up your brand new Mac by answering all the questions during initial setup as usual. Be sure to use your correct Apple ID - probably the same one you used to log into this support forum. When you reach the point in which it asks you if you would like to transfer your old documents and settings, connect the old hard disk and select it as the source. It will take some time as it copies all its contents to your new Mac. All your familiar items will be exactly as they were on the failed Mac.
After that, you can use the old hard disk as a Time Machine backup. When you are satisfied everything on your new Mac is running as it should, go ahead and erase the old disk. Then, tell Time Machine to designate it as a backup, and the rest is automatic.

I've,just,bought,a,new,Mac,with,mavericks,,but,I,don't,like,mavericks,,how,may,I ,downgrade,to,Mountain,Lion,10.8.5?

I've just bought a brand new iMac with OS X Mavericks but I dont like Mavericks and it also has problems with some apps I use, how may I downgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8.5?

You can't.
You cannot install or run an OS X version lower than what is, originally, installed on your Mac.
Your only option maybe to purchase a download code for OS X Mountain Lion here,
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
Purchase a high quality USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt hard drive, formatted as an OS X exetnded (journaled) drive with a GUID partition scheme and install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to the external drive and boot and run your new iMac from this external drive.
This is the only optioh to run an older OS X version on a new Mac.
I have a 2009 iMac that the lowest OS X version I can run from the iMac's internal hard drive is OS X 10.6.1.
I have an external drive with OS X 10.5.8 and can get my iMac to boot and run this older OS X version from the ex eternal hard drive.
Here is a good source for quality external hard drives.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Lacie/9000353/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Lacie/9000303/
Your only other option is to return your new iMac within 14 days for a full refund and look for older iMac, either new or used that came with OS X Mountain Lion as its original, preinstalled OS X version.
Good Luck!

New Mac with Mavericks, I want downgrade to Mountain Lion

I have a New Mac Mini with Mavericks 10.9 but I need use Mountain Lion 10.8, How can I uninstall Mavericks and install Mountain Lion ???

No, the computer that had Mountain Lion installed when new is the my friend´s computer (I have a flash bootable of this computer).
If you mean you have a bootable flash drive with a copy of the Mountain Lion installer on it, it may install that OS on the erased Mini's drive, assuming it will boot your Mini to begin with. On the first startup after installing that OS, as part of the setup process you should be asked for your Apple ID, which should link the license for that installation to you rather than to your friend.
But because this is unsupported & possibly a violation of the ML licensing terms, I agree that if possible you should call Applecare & discuss the implications of doing this before proceeding.
You also might want to consider buying an external drive & installing ML & Server 2.0 on it rather than on your Mini's internal drive, & booting from that for your certification work. That way, the Mini will still run its "native" OS when booted from the internal. To keep that system from being influenced by the ML one in any way, you should immediately unmount the internal drive after starting up from the external drive, or you can create an "fstab" file on the ML system with an entry to prevent the internal drive from mounting when starting up from the external.

I've lost an important email correspondence from 2012. I've heard this could be due to getting new Mac with Mavericks. can any one tell me (how to find out) if this is related? Also, how to retrieve the lost emails in my Gmail? Thanks

Hello!
I've just been told that "a lot of people have reported the total loss of their e-mail related to the Mavericks (10.9) update. It appears the update corrupts the email files on your computer and when the Apple e-mail client sees everything is "gone" it wipes the server too (your GMail account)."
I need to recover/retrieve a lost email sent from my GMail account back in sep/oct 2012. can any one help?
I have searched my account the relevant correspondence is gone. I should not have deleted it myself. I've only started using "Mail" for my GMail account last September, so the servers could not have mixed up the Gmail archives, I think. Either way, I'm not smart enough yet to know how to retrieve this correspondence. The lost email is rather important, why I need to investigate all possible solutions.
My gmail settings i.e. POP/IMAP and Filters are as they should, as far as I believe, but yet, I cannot tell how my settings were in 2012, tho I think I've never changed anything personally. In Sep 2012, arounf the time the, now lost, corresponcence took place, I switched to using Chrome, where before I was using Safari or Firefox. I now use a new mac book with Mavericks and browse in Chrome, most of the time.
Would anyone be able to guide me through some steps, or have any leads on this?
Many thanks in advance!
LK

Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.
